It's nice to hear someone else who is uneasy with the concept of strict obedience. Sometimes I hear parents online talking about it and it freaks me out a little bit. Like, kids should be respectful and listen to adults, but they're their own people and nobody is perfect. It's so strange to expect complete obedience from someone who is just growing too. I feel it can so quickly make them become meek. Maybe I had a bit of that in my own childhood which is why I feel so strongly about it now that I've become more confident. When kids are raised in a "things are black and white", "do as I say" environment it's far from ideal.

Honestly I find most parents swing to the opposite end these days. Most let their kids do whatever, say whatever, and try to be their friend. The amount of students I have that don't have any rules is crazy! They are kids though, and definitely don't want to take their spark away. Emrys right now is learning to be gentle. She likes to pull my hair to get my face to hers so I can give kisses lol. Do I want to stop her from telling me she wants kisses? Hell no! Do I want her to realize that pulling my hair hurts and shouldn't be done? Yep! I love Parenting with Love and Logic because I feel they have a good balance. Your child is still a child, but there are expectations for how to behave (for example not getting everything they want at the store). I'm hoping to read Positive Discipline soon because that's the one I found to be what people preferred over Love and Logic so it will be interesting to see the differences.

@@TheChoiceofMotherhood I'd say most parents I actually know in person are in the middle. The parents of the recent classes I have have had a healthy balance of life and discipline. It's reflected in how their kids act at school and it's amazing. I was moreso just referring to some of the people I used to follow in the KZbin/Instagram communities of adoption and parenting that appear to have the strict "this is how children MUST act" down. There's one in particular (won't share names of course) where the kiddos rarely make a peep. It's a little eerie. Definitely know the parents who are on the far other end of the spectrum, of course. 😬 As with most things, a healthy balance is key. Haha! I remember those days working with littles where they try to rip your face off and don't understand that it hurts. It's been a few years since I've been around younger toddlers!
